Olly Moss

I want to bring your attention to the fine work of Olly Moss, particularly his film posters. I'm so envious of the way he builds an amazing piece around the smallest detail of his subjects. His prints are always limited and available in small quantities, so think fast if you want to own one.

Before you ask, the Star Wars prints are sold out and will never be re-printed.

Raven by Tomer Hanuka

I'm a huge fan of Tomer Hanuka. His work is mind-blowing, powerful and never ceases to amaze. Raven is a recent limited edition silk screen print, inspired by Poe's classic poem.

His art is at once beautiful and gruesome; a greasy, sinister and sometimes violent shadow is always creeping through, or glistening around the edges of every picture he creates.

Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium

It's my dream to own a Leica, they're elegant, beautiful and subtle yet with all the power and technical ability of any semi pro (and even some fully pro) digital cameras. They're all out of my price range but hopefully one day I'll be able to justify the expense to myself even if I have to cut down on central heating and meals and other similar non-essentials.

The limited edition D-Lux unites quintessence of style with the refined elegance of titanium. Its fast Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens ensures excellent imaging quality and covers a wide range of photographic genres, while its manual setting options guarantee photographers even greater creative freedom. RRP: £855, but cheaper here (Inc Luxury Leather Case)

Sketch

I don't know the artist, but I love it. I love the simplicity and the perfection. To me it's suggesting a lack of individuality, a young girl has been shaped by a life she is born into without choice. Her shape is pre-defined, recognisable and easy to place, easy to organise.

The Grand Cafe Orient

I love this cafe in Prague. It’s tucked away in The House of the Black Madonna, a cubist building in the Old Town. They do a simple menu, excellent cakes and live jazz a few nights a week, but it's worth going just to check out the architecture and decor.

I want to live in this:













A scale model by Olaf Gipser, beautiful. This appeared in Wallpaper magazine/website as part of a 'calendar' of featured architects of the year.
